Engine and Performance Details

1.2L Revotron iCNG Engine with AMT Gearbox

The Altroz iCNG AMT comes with a 1.2-litre Revotron iCNG engine. It delivers 73.5 PS power and 103 Nm torque in CNG mode. Tata Motors has now paired this engine with an AMT gearbox, which improves driving comfort in heavy traffic and busy city roads.

Moreover, the hatchback uses a single advanced ECU system. Because of this technology, the switch between petrol and CNG modes feels smooth and quick. In addition, the car offers a Direct Start in CNG mode, allowing drivers to start the vehicle directly in CNG mode without extra effort.

Perhaps the biggest highlight of the Altroz iCNG AMT is its twin-cylinder technology. Tata Motors has placed the cylinders below the luggage area. Therefore, the hatchback still provides a practical 210-litre boot space in CNG mode. However, the petrol and diesel versions offer 345 litres of boot space.

Premium Design and Cabin Features

Stylish Exterior with Feature-Rich Interior

The Altroz iCNG AMT continues with the premium styling of the updated Altroz range. It gets flush door handles, infinity connected LED tail lamps, and sleek LED headlamps with DRLs.

Inside the cabin, Tata Motors has added several comfort and technology features. The hatchback comes with executive lounge-style rear seats and a soft-touch Grand Prestigia dashboard. In addition, buyers get 26.03 cm twin digital screens for infotainment and instrumentation by HARMAN.

The cabin also includes ambient lighting, which improves the overall premium feel. Moreover, the spacious layout offers better comfort for passengers during long and short journeys.

Strong Safety Package

5-Star Bharat NCAP Safety Rating

Safety remains one of the biggest strengths of the Altroz. The hatchback is built on Tata Motors’ ALFA architecture with ultra-high-strength steel. Because of this strong structure, the Altroz continues with a 5-star Bharat NCAP safety rating across petrol, diesel, and CNG variants.

The Altroz iCNG AMT comes with several standard safety features, including:

  • 6 airbags
  • Electronic Stability Program (ESP)
  • ISOFIX child seat mounts
  • Reverse parking sensors

In addition, higher variants also offer advanced safety technologies such as:

  • 360-degree HD surround view camera
  • Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
  • Auto headlamps
  • LED fog lamps

Official Statement from Tata Motors

Speaking on the launch, Mr. Vivek Srivatsa, Chief Commercial Officer, Tata Passenger Electric Mobility Ltd., said, “The Altroz has consistently set benchmarks in the premium hatchback segment through its strong focus on design, safety and powertrain choice. CNG is the fastest growing fuel choice in the country, with 19% penetration in FY25 and 22% in FY26 and this growth is no longer limited to traditional markets, with new regions contributing significantly to adoption. With the introduction of AMT in the iCNG line-up, we are addressing a clear and growing customer need for greater convenience in CNG vehicles. This addition makes Altroz the most versatile and premium offering in its segment delivering the right balance of efficiency, ease of driving and everyday practicality, without compromising on space or safety."

Altroz Continues to Strengthen Its Position

Wider Choices for Indian Buyers

Since its launch, the Altroz has built a strong position in the premium hatchback segment. It became the first hatchback in India to receive a 5-star Global NCAP safety rating in 2020. Later, the hatchback also secured a 5-star Bharat NCAP rating in 2025.

Moreover, the Altroz remains the only hatchback in India that offers a diesel engine option. Tata Motors also introduced the innovative twin-cylinder iCNG technology earlier in this segment. Now, with the addition of the AMT option in the iCNG lineup, the Altroz offers one of the widest powertrain choices in its category.

Overall, the new Altroz iCNG AMT brings together fuel efficiency, automatic convenience, premium features, and strong safety. Therefore, it becomes a practical choice for buyers looking for a comfortable and fuel-efficient premium hatchback in India.
